It's Christmas again this year.

Originally, Big Ben and they were going to accompany Richard for the holiday, but they were driven by Richard to accompany his family.

However, West Lafayette came with a bunch of players, led by Pierce, who brought new people who just joined Purdue this year.

The five newcomers were very excited, and it was an absolute honor for them to have the opportunity to meet Richard, the godfather of West Lafayette, in person!

They also know very well that the reason why Purdue University works so hard to recruit itself is that they are all people who are looked down upon by Richard.

……

Byron Davis and others were very reserved, and after they came, they listened quietly to Pierce and Richard chatting, but there were also dishonest ones, such as Artest......

Artest is ready to enter the NBA in two years, pestering Richard all night, and has to ask Richard to give him a guarantee that he will choose himself when the time comes to the draft......

This thing is a character who doesn't hesitate, and he doesn't talk through his brain at all, and his teammates are used to it.

……

Speaking of which, in fact, Richard really has the idea of winning Artest, mainly because now the Auburn Hills combination is just one Artest, and it is really a pity if he doesn't take it......

Big Ben, Rashid, Little Ao, Martial Saint and Artest, these five people are the protagonists of the Auburn Hills Palace incident, and there is one Artest missing at the moment.

But even if Richard had such thoughts, he would definitely not tell Artest......

This player who never speaks through his brain, if you tell him in advance, you don't have to wait until the draft, I'm afraid this thing will be on the news tomorrow afternoon.

Now that Richard has proven his talent selection vision countless times, it is difficult to guarantee that no other team will cut the beard.

……

Seeing that this year is about to pass again, there is still about half a year before the draft.

In this draft, West Lafayette has a total of four people ready to run, namely the White Devil Bibby, Jamison, Larry Hughes and Pierce.

Under normal circumstances, these four would be selected by the top 10 picks, not to mention that they all have the label of Silafayette on them now.

You don't have to think about it to know that the order of these four people may be improved......

Richard is very helpless, he only has a first-round pick for the Kings in hand now, and it is really hard to say whether he can pick them at that time.

And even if Richard had the opportunity to choose, he wouldn't necessarily be able to choose.

For example, Larry Hughes, Richard knew very well that if he was selected, it was estimated that it would delay Larry Hughes's growth.

Pierce and Jamison are also roughly like this, not to mention whether Richard can be selected, even if they are selected, it is difficult for Richard to give them a lot of playing time.

The only more suitable one, that is, Bibby, he plays the No. 1 position, and if Richard can win it, he can still get a lot of playing time.

But Bibby is normally signed by the Grizzlies, and he will go to team up with Rahim.

After the Philadelphia 76ers, the Vancouver Grizzlies teamed up again as a pair of West Lafayette brothers.

Not only the Vancouver Grizzlies, under normal circumstances, the Golden State Warriors chose Carter with the fifth pick, and the Toronto Raptors chose Jamison with the fourth pick, and the two teams will swap rookies, and Vince Carter and Jamison swap owners.

That's right, Jamison will join the Golden State Warriors to team up with Brad Miller!

And Pierce would normally be selected by Green Kai to join forces with Billups!

Billups in history was sent to the Toronto Raptors because of the scandal, before his rookie season was played, and because of the appearance of Richard, Billups did not appear in that scandal, so he is still staying in Green Kai at the moment, although he is not the team's head of the team at the moment, but he is also the team's starting point guard......

Larry Hughes was drafted by the Philadelphia 76ers under normal circumstances, but looking at the 76ers' record this year, it is estimated that it is difficult to have such a high draft pick, so it is definitely impossible for Larry Hughes to join the 76ers......

……

In addition to the Trail Blazers, the home of West Lafayette, there have been four teams where West Lafayette players have teamed up.

A West Lafayette player, the worst of which is the team's starting main position, if there are two of them, they will have a good say in the team!

Looking at it this way, Richard's influence next season is a little scary.

There are so many brother teams, and one side is in trouble and all sides are supporting......

……

I talked to these boys again until the early hours of the morning, and Richard said that his mouth was dry.

It was the third Christmas Richard had ever had since he crossed over, the third Christmas without any women around him.

Leftover Egg Festival ......

For three years in a row, he spent Christmas with the players, and Richard got used to it.

Sometimes Richard also feels very fortunate that there is no woman, and there are pros and cons to this matter.

There are many advantages, but the disadvantages are also unbearable for Richard.

The woman has four knives, and the man is terrified when he sees it.

Babble, babble.

Therefore, at the moment, this kind of single life, in fact, Richard can still accept it, at least he doesn't have to endure the four knives of women......

……

The second day of the Christmas game kicks off with the Bulls vs. Indiana Pacers in the East.

This season, the Pacers, under the leadership of Larry Bird, have risen to the second place in the East, and even the difference between them and the Bulls is not large, and now they are only one and a half wins behind the Bulls when the season is about to pass the halfway point.

On the Western side, the Jazz vs. the Lakers.

What fans didn't expect was that it was originally predicted that the matchup in the West would be quite intense, and it was likely that there would be a scene of O'Neal and Malone fighting under the basket.

What I never expected was that the two sides played quite harmoniously......

After the game, reporters even photographed O'Neal driving with Malone and Stockton in style.

This news made Richard a little painful, I don't know if it's his own delusion, he always feels that the Lakers and Jazz may be going to make trouble.

There is no doubt that last season's playoffs, whether it was the Lakers or the Jazz, were the sufferers of the Trail Blazers.

Both teams were pitted quite badly by the Trail Blazers......

The Lakers were directly eliminated by the Trail Blazers in the first round, while the Jazz were limped into the Western Conference by the Trail Blazers, and finally the Rockets were beaten.

These two hard-working teams are really likely to sympathize with each other......

"I'll go, won't Malone join the Lakers in advance, right?" Richard's chrysanthemum tightened, if this kind of thing really happened, it would be bad!

Now Malone is still at his peak, not looking at retiring to join the Lakers!

The current Malone can definitely be called the strongest forward in the league, plus O'Neal, the strongest center in the league......

If these two join forces, even if the Auburn combination grows up, it is estimated that they will be hammered by the two of them!
